What is Trevor Noah's net worth? Comedian reportedly suing NYC hospital and surgeon for botched procedure

South African comedian Trevor Noah has sued a New York City-based doctor and hospital for botching his 2020 surgery.

In November 2021, the 37-year-old host filed a lawsuit against orthopedic surgeon Dr. Riley J. Williams III and the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, New York.

As per the court documents obtained by media outlet Page Six, Noah claimed that the doctor and staff were "careless in failing to treat and care for [him] in a careful and skillful manner."

Noah was a patient at the hospital from August 25, 2020 to December 17, 2020. The Born a Crime author underwent surgery on November 23, 2020.

The lawsuit also accused the hospital and staff of "failing to use approved methods in general use in care and treatment," as per the documents obtained by news organization PEOPLE.

The Coming 2 America actor also suffered "serious personal injuries" post his surgery, which allegedly left Trevor Noah "rendered sick, sore, lame, and disabled," as per official papers obtained by the outlet.

However, in response to Noah's lawsuit, a hospital representative has called Noah's claims "meritless."
